hi admins

a friend of mine is asking me about a old problem and i only have the answer about because of the multiple accounts of some hackers.

why is it not possible to use 1 computer with 2 accounts he did ask me. his father is a truck driver and he would like to play also aa2 in the meantime he is away at work. for them it would be ok to get banned at both accounts by a hacking ban.

shouldn't there be a way to get out of that 1 account for 1 player if you could ban both accounts if one is catched for hacking?

i hope you have a idea about that. would be great!

hi teddy

for the fist part i do know exactly why it was implemented like it is now - this is not the point.

the point is the second part. and sure they do not want to cheat. but as a solution for those who would like to play with 2 accounts on 1 computer, it could be - if some of them are catched as cheater - to accept the ban for those 2 accounts. so i mean it could be like the commitment you do when you install the aa25assist, you have to say - yes, i am agree when 1 account would be catched - dosnt' matter the reason - you can bann both accounts related to this computer. so easy and more players and more fun with that - and no bigger risk at it is already now.

my friends would accept this rule (and they wouldn't if a hacking mind would lead them).

btw: you are right, this case with 1 player 1 computer was many many many many times discussed. but maybe with a new idea it could change, right? the world is still rotating ...

I think I see what you're saying. But it's actually always stood that if a player is caught hacking/cheating all of his account will be banned as well as the other accounts used on the same computer. There is simply no way for an admin here to know whether it was person A playing or person B, plus if one was caught using something illegal, doesn't mean the other one didn't or wouldn't use it in the future, since the program is already on the computer.

And as much as I've visited these here forums, I've yet to see somebody being told it's OK to play on 2 accounts on one computer even with 2 different people involved. Granted, there might have been such an incident and I might have missed it, and of course such compromises might have been made privately just to insure that the whole community wouldn't go and demand they have a 2nd account on their computer as well for their cousin who visits every 2 months.

well i think its SAD that this is been done like this  cause what if you only have 1 pc and your child wants to play to ? they are SOL than?? + if you have more than 1 pc but the one you always play on something breaks in the pc so you cannot load anything( i mean the OS and than the game) im not able to play on a different pc where another person with an account has already  been playing on ,i cannot change to my own account?? ,,,i mean i can understand the fact you guys want to get RID of the cheaters and hackers that are ruining the game but does that really have to punch all the clean players in the face because of them ? btw the guy merlin is talking about i know him to aswell the father is a truckdriver and likes to play AA on the days he is home  but his son is at home most of the time when he is not in school and he wants to play on his own account this guy has been playing the game for about 6 to 8 years or so always with his own account ,and now because of the new rule in AA he aint gonna be able to play on his own account no more ? i thought the reason was to get more people to play the game not to get rid of players!!( if people are clean and their linked accounts are clean ,i dont see the problem of allowing them to play the game)  if people start cheating BAN them all ,,,,,

There is nothing that prevents anyone from playing with 2 accounts on the same computer.
The only check that active by default is when a new account in created.
So if you try to create a new account on a computer that already has an account played on, it will be denied.

But I don't live with my dad.

Wait, did I just waste that excuse?

It's my brother then!

I don't think there's anything wrong with 2 accounts per 1 computer, anything goes wrong u can ban both accounts,

yes, thank you. you understud, hope others will do so too.
thats exactly the point.

Yep, 2 accounts maximum for 1 computer would be best. If anything goes wrong, it takes only 2 mouseclicks to ban both accounts.
